Plumbing Repair, Installation & Drain Service
Water should run quietly and predictably. Our plumbers track down leaks, rebuild toilets, replace worn shutoffs, and correct low water pressure that makes showers feel weak. Drain specialists clear clogs with safe tools and can camera-inspect lines to spot grease buildup, bellies, or early root intrusion. Galvanized stub-outs near sinks often cause rusty water at the tap; we swap those short sections for modern, code-approved materials that stay clean. Crews install and service water heaters, tank and tankless, add accessible cleanouts, repair sump and ejector pumps, and seal small drain leaks that leave odors under cabinets. You get tight connections, quiet drains, and fixtures that work the way they should, without repeat visits.
Heating Repair, Installation & Maintenance
Cold snaps test every weak spot in a heating system. Our team restores safe, steady heat with precise furnace and heat pump service. A typical call includes a full safety check, blower cleaning, igniter and flame sensor testing, gas pressure verification, and airflow tuning so rooms heat evenly. Heat pumps receive reversing-valve and defrost checks to keep winter performance strong. Noisy starts, frequent cycling, or cold rooms at the far end of the house often trace back to airflow and control settings; we set fan speeds, calibrate thermostats, and seal obvious duct leaks that waste energy. Clear notes outline what we fixed today and what to plan for later, such as a tired inducer motor or a heat exchanger that needs closer monitoring.
Air Conditioning & Ductless Mini-Split Service
Sticky July afternoons make small AC issues feel big. Our technicians clean outdoor coils, set blower speeds, and confirm refrigerant charge after airflow looks right, which brings down humidity and evens out room temperatures. Crews clear condensate lines, test float switches, and treat the drain to stop pan overflows that stain ceilings. Duct checks catch crushed flex, loose connections, and undersized returns that starve bedrooms of cool air. Ductless owners receive gentle coil cleaning, drain service, and error-code diagnosis to keep zones crisp without noise. Breaker trips at startup often point to weak capacitors or pitted contactors; we test parts rather than guess. You get reliable cooling, steady temps, and a system that starts smoothly during heat waves.
Preventive Maintenance & Seasonal Tune-Ups
Consistent care keeps systems quiet, efficient, and ready for peak weather. Our AC tune-ups include coil cleaning, blower inspection, fan and capacitor testing, drain clearing, filter service, and performance checks that match manufacturer targets. Heating tune-ups cover burner and ignition checks, safety limit tests, blower cleaning, gas pressure verification, and airflow balancing. A tuned system holds temperature without long run times, removes moisture better in summer, and burns cleaner in winter. Thornton Family Club members receive friendly reminders, priority scheduling, and documented readings that help with warranty support. Regular visits reduce surprise breakdowns in January and keep utility bills steadier across the year.
Our Process, Credentials & Parts Quality
Clear steps build trust. We start with a short consult, perform targeted diagnostics, and share photos and readings so you can decide with confidence. Licensed and insured technicians train on current materials and leading brands. We use quality parts from reputable distributors to protect your warranty rights, and we size components to match equipment data, not guesswork. Crews lay floor protection, keep tools organized, and clean up before leaving. Final tests confirm safe operation under real load, not just idle checks. You receive a simple summary with next-step recommendations based on condition, not sales quotas, which makes future planning easy.
